Psalm 81
|
|
| 81:1
Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of
Jacob. |
|
| 81:2
Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the
psaltery. |
|
| 81:3
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn
feast day. |
|
| 81:4
For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. |
|
| 81:5
This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the
land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. |
|
| 81:6
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the
pots. |
|
| 81:7
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the
secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. |
|
| 81:8
Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt
hearken unto me; |
|
| 81:9
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any
strange god. |
|
| 81:10
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open
thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. |
|
| 81:11
But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. |
|
| 81:12
So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their
own counsels. |
|
| 81:13
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! |
|
| 81:14
I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their
adversaries. |
|
| 81:15
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but
their time should have endured for ever. |
|
| 81:16
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey
out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
